Even if all the bars in your area have a tragic habit of closing at 2 a.m., your makeup should be the last thing that retires when you're out on the town. Fortunately, Elle Magazine enlisted the help of some of Hollywood's top celebrity makeup artists to spill the deets on their expert long-lasting makeup tricks.

There are other options available to the pencil-weary, of course. Use blinc Eyebrow Mousse for its long-lasting, water-resistant formula that sets when it's dry.

As for lashes? Celebrity makeup artist Rachel Goodwin told Elle that she likes gentle formulas that don't clump or fake, but she's not the biggest fan of most leading waterproof brands.

"Waterproof mascara is probably more appropriate for New Year's Eve, but I'm not really a fan of it - I find that it sometimes makes the lashes brittle, and unless you use an oil-based remover, taking it off can cause breakage," she told the news source.

Use blinc Mascara for its revolutionary water-resistant formula. The mascara encases lashes in miniature tubes to create optimum all-day hold, which come off gently at night with just a little warm water.

If you've ever been inspired by makeup looks you've seen on the catwalk, we have some good news - it seems as though you can take these trends to the streets.

Though The New York Times initially qualified silver eye cosmetics shown off on the runway as "a hothouse exotic that wouldn’t survive outside a fashion show," the makeup artist in charge of the futuristic look says this simply isn't so.

"Metallics are unique, modern and chic," Pat McGrath told the news source. "But most of all, they are completely wearable on every skin tone."

To get the most of this metallurgic glam, McGrath suggests applying sparkly eyeshadow to one's lid (extending it up to your browbone may overwhelm a day-to-day look). Black liquid eyeliner and mascara will complete this eye-catching detail.

For a high-performance mascara that will survive a full day of activity or a night on the town, use blinc Mascara for its water-resistant, long-lasting qualities.

Some ladies, in the effort to take their good looks to a more consistent level, think that tattooed makeup is the way to go. And for some, this may just be the case - few other cosmetic solutions allow you to go to bed and wake up with perfect eyeliner and brow applications without risking an infection.

"It's amazing how you can wake up looking absolutely fabulous and get ready in five minutes," happy customer Auri Reynoso told The New York Times. "I just apply blush, lip gloss and mascara and I'm done."

However, there are obvious drawbacks to this procedure. It's painful, can be costly, and most of all, it's permanent - how sure can you really be that you'll still be into winged eyeliner in your 60s? Who hasn't heard horror stories of seeing Grandma fresh out of bed with just her tattooed lids gazing at you from beneath their wrinkly folds?

For ladies that want a high-performance mascara that will provide all-but permanent hold throughout the day (yet still come off gently at night), blinc Mascara employs a revolutionary water-resistant long-lasting formula to get your lashes into top shape.

Whether you're already branded with the trauma of having your toiletries bag picked over by a burly male member of the TSA or you're merely hoping to avoid it from ever happening, knowing how to pack your cosmetics is an essential life skill for women on the go.

One of the most important things to remember is that all sharp and pointy objects - think tweezers, nail files and scissors - will arouse suspicion on an X-ray screen. That being said, these are all things that are best packed into your luggage. Save the essentials for your carry-on, and by essentials we mean only the things you'll need between take-off and landing (and possibly longer if you're not so lucky).

For this, we recommend moisturizer (think of how dry your skin feels from the altitude), some cover-up, lip balm or gloss, powder, makeup remover and water-resistant blinc Mascara.

The latter is equipped with a high-performance long-lasting formula to ensure that you depart and arrive with the same flawless fringe. The revolutionary tubing formula is gentle on lashes as well, providing optimum hold throughout any kind of weather or stress and coming off easily when you want it to.

Most of you will probably agree on one rudimentary guideline - your 9 to 5 makeup should be different than what you wear to go out after hours. However, this isn't always easy for every woman to nail down, whether it's an issue of being new to the workforce or merely not having had the chance to properly flex your makeup muscles.

Go Local Prov's beauty expert Becky DiStefano suggests boiling it down to one basic decision: do you emphasize your eyes or your lips? While a bold pout can look super professional when its balanced with minimal makeup, a smokey eye can also hold its own in the workplace.

"Do a simple eye with a wash of shadow and mascara," DiStefano suggests. "Or go for a strong, lined eye using a smudgy pencil...and finish with a light, clear gloss."

As for everything else, you generally want to look as clean and polished as possible, so keep your complexion flawless and your nails up-to-par.

For a high-performance mascara that works to serve you throughout the day, use blinc Mascara. Its water-resistant tubing formula encases lashes in miniature tubes, outperforming other leading waterproof brands.
